Lyrics
Deliver Me (Eric Doberman) Deliver me from tractor trailers on the loading docks at four Deliver me from banquet captains mincing around on the fourteenth Oh I want to sail away o’er the mountains and the sea Deliver me oh my dear lord deliver me Deliver me from eighteen hour day and 86 proof nights I find myself on a black stage yes some fool has dimmed the lights And yet even in the blackness I despise all that I see Deliver me oh my dear lord deliver me Deliver Me, Deliver Me This Dog and Pony show has me on my knees Deliver Me, Deliver Me C’mon Deliver Me Deliver me from lawyers and bodyguards asking after heroin Deliver me from Syrian drunkards deliver me from Lara Flynn Take my weak hand in your strong one until finally I am free Deliver my savior God deliver me Deliver Me, Deliver Me Leave the Birthday Girl to feed her chimpanzee Deliver Me, Deliver Me Deliver me from this beige hell Deliver me from this hotel Deliver me oh my dear lord Deliver me
